Hello, welcome to Outside Source, a direct attack on aid trucks near

:00:00.:00:21.

Aleppo made that decision and inevitability, Russia and Syria say

:00:22.:00:25.

they are not responsible. The head of the UN does not agree. Many

:00:26.:00:29.

innocent people have been killed. innocent people have been killed.

:00:30.:00:33.

None more so than the government of Syria. The global refugee crisis is

:00:34.:00:40.

caused by the Syrian conflict, and today that crisis is centre stage at

:00:41.:00:45.

the UN General Assembly. President Obama has been leading calls for

:00:46.:00:50.

more to be done. That point can be made more clearly than these events

:00:51.:00:57.

in Lesbos in Greece. Thousands of migrants have been living here. We

:00:58.:01:03.

will talk about Donald Trump's comments. The comments have caused

:01:04.:01:12.

controversy, as has his son, who has compared refugees to Skittles. If

:01:13.:01:16.

you have seen that story, the man took the photo of the Skittles is a

:01:17.:01:22.

refugee and has talked to me. We will bring you up-to-date with

:01:23.:01:30.

Angelina -- Angelina Jolie filing for divorce with Brad Pitt.

:01:31.:01:43.

All aid convoys into Syria have stopped and this is the reason why.

:01:44.:01:50.

This is the moment lorries in an aid convoy were attacked close to

:01:51.:02:05.

Aleppo. 20 man to workers were killed. We know the convoy had

:02:06.:02:09.

received all the relevant permits and all parties including Russia and

:02:10.:02:13.

America had been notified of its plans. This man was at the scene

:02:14.:02:17.

just after the attack. This is a house full of Syrian

:02:18.:02:21.

Christians. This is where more than 20 trucks,

:02:22.:02:23.

20 vehicles full of food. With flour, medicine,

:02:24.:02:25.

Pampers and blankets. This is full of blankets

:02:26.:02:30.

from the refugee agency. This aid was meant for thousands of

:02:31.:02:55.

people in rebel held areas in the west of the city of Aleppo. The

:02:56.:02:59.

convoy was being unloaded at a Red Crescent warehouse near to a town,

:03:00.:03:06.

being unloaded when the attacks began. The last time this town

:03:07.:03:11.

received supplies was back in July. We are told the attacks killed 18 of

:03:12.:03:17.

the 31 lorries in this particular convoy, and the lorries were

:03:18.:03:19.

carrying supplies such as. Just when we think it cannot get any

:03:20.:04:09.

worse, the bar of depravity sinks lower. That is Ban Ki-Moon speaking

:04:10.:04:15.

earlier. Next, I will play you the analysis of BBC Arabic's

:04:16.:04:22.

correspondent, who has been talking to made about whether this convoy

:04:23.:04:25.

could be mistaken for anything other than what it was. There are strings

:04:26.:04:33.

on YouTube that anyone could see, the Russians are streaming, the

:04:34.:04:38.

Americans are filming all the time. They knew about this convoy as it

:04:39.:04:44.

was announced, and it they followed the convoy from the Turkish border

:04:45.:04:49.

to the first destination. There is a big question- Mark why this

:04:50.:04:53.

happened. Another question was, was it the first convoy to enter the

:04:54.:04:59.

area, or there were some previous convoys that entered the area, and

:05:00.:05:04.

why this one? A few days ago, we were talking about aid, why it is

:05:05.:05:14.

not going, it is as if they tried to find the solution by finding another

:05:15.:05:18.

route but they didn't want to announce it to the journalists, to

:05:19.:05:22.

the cameras. And they wanted to keep it low key to be able to deliver

:05:23.:05:28.

these. It is very complicated. Someone knows about it. Definitely,

:05:29.:05:32.

it is filmed, and we are waiting for the coming hours to know more about

:05:33.:05:37.

what happened. Russia and the US have responded, and do not agree.

:05:38.:05:42.

Russia says neither Syrian or Russian aircraft were involved. They

:05:43.:05:46.

also say the attack mysteriously coincided with a large-scale Rebel

:05:47.:05:52.

strike on Aleppo. The US state Department John Kirby has a

:05:53.:05:55.

different understanding of events, he has been speaking to Lyse Doucet

:05:56.:06:04.

in New York for Outside Source. It was definitely not coalition

:06:05.:06:10.

aircraft. They say it wasn't them. Three groups are flying in tactical

:06:11.:06:14.

aircraft over Syria, the coalition of which the United States is a

:06:15.:06:20.

member of, Russia and Syria. We know it was not the coalition. That

:06:21.:06:25.

leaves two. I wouldn't get into specific matters, really, in more

:06:26.:06:29.

detail than that, but either it was the Russians or the Syrian regime.

:06:30.:06:35.

How complicating is it the fact that coalition aircraft, US aircraft,

:06:36.:06:38.

carried out a strike that killed Syrian soldiers, there was a mistake

:06:39.:06:42.

on the ground, causing a lot of hostility even with Russia. That was

:06:43.:06:48.

a terrible accident. They saved is not an accident. The defence

:06:49.:06:52.

Department has spoken of that. We would not target Syrian soldiers. It

:06:53.:06:57.

was not done with intent to harm Syrian soldiers. Syrian forces are

:06:58.:07:04.

protected, and we have always recognised them. It was an incident

:07:05.:07:07.

we are looking into, they are investigating it. We do this very

:07:08.:07:13.

well and very thoroughly. When they are done investigating, and talking

:07:14.:07:16.

about the investigation today, they will be transparent about results.

:07:17.:07:20.

And if people are to be held to account, or we will do that. We

:07:21.:07:24.

should not lose focus on this, that for so many months now, actually for

:07:25.:07:28.

five years, it has been the regime that has perpetrated the worst

:07:29.:07:31.

brutality on their own people. It is the regime dropping barrel bombs and

:07:32.:07:35.

chlorine on their own people. The regime has been besieging towns like

:07:36.:07:40.

Aleppo, starving people, refusing to let medicine get in. By far, they

:07:41.:07:47.

are the worst violator. Where do you go from here? John Kerry and Sergey

:07:48.:07:55.

Lavrov worked for months to get this deal, and it fell apart in weeks. We

:07:56.:08:00.

recognise the severe strain things are under. We believe that it is

:08:01.:08:06.

worth continuing to try to pursue this arrangement, to get a cessation

:08:07.:08:12.

of hostilities that is accountable, so that both both sides can get back

:08:13.:08:21.

to the table and start a political dialogue that can get us to a

:08:22.:08:25.

transitional government. That is the goal. It was clear to me this

:08:26.:08:31.

morning that Secretary Kerry and Sergey Lavrov, who were sitting

:08:32.:08:34.

side-by-side, are trying to work through this. That interview was in

:08:35.:08:38.

New York. We will stay in the city, because the man arrested in

:08:39.:08:41.

connection with the bomb attacks at the weekend has been charged with

:08:42.:08:44.

five counts of attempted murder. Official tells

:08:45.:09:06.

the BBC that Ahmad Khan Rahami's father contacted authorities in 2014

:09:07.:09:07.

after a domestic dispute and alleged that his son was a terrorist,

:09:08.:09:10.

a claim that was later retracted. The FBI probed the New York

:09:11.:09:14.

bombing suspect in August 2014 after his father flagged him

:09:15.:09:17.

up to the authorities, but agents did not uncover any

:09:18.:09:19.

terror links. Donald Trump's

:09:20.:09:28.

view on the medical care the suspect is receiving has

:09:29.:09:30.

generated huge controversy. He said "Now we will give him

:09:31.:09:40.

amazing hospitalisation. And on top of all that he will be

:09:41.:09:44.

represented by an That generated controversy for an

:09:45.:09:56.

hour or two, until his son tweeted this image with the words,

:09:57.:10:06.

For a moment, let's leave aside the fact that the man

:10:07.:10:10.

in custody over this weekend's attacks is an American.

:10:11.:10:14.

And that he's been charged, but not yet found guilty of anything.

:10:15.:10:26.

we can bring statistics to bear on this story, one in 3 billion is the

:10:27.:10:32.

chance of someone in the US dying from an attack carried out by a

:10:33.:10:36.

refugee, a terror attack by a refugee. One in 3408 is the

:10:37.:10:41.

probability of someone losing their life in the US choking on food.

:10:42.:10:46.

Whether that is a skittle or something else. These stats come

:10:47.:10:57.

from the US National safety Council. This picture of some Skittles, this

:10:58.:11:04.

one, was taken by a man unaware how it was used. He has come out to say,

:11:05.:11:11.

hold on, I am a refugee, I got through to him on the phone a little

:11:12.:11:18.

bit earlier. I was disgusted for two reasons. First of all, it is like a

:11:19.:11:23.

rich man stealing from a poor man. Second, I would never approve using

:11:24.:11:30.

my image like this. Because I was made a refugee myself when I was six

:11:31.:11:35.

years old, when Turkey invaded Cyprus. I would never use an image

:11:36.:11:42.

about Skittles to talk about such a serious problem. Let's bring

:11:43.:11:51.

Theresa May has made her first speech to the UN General Assembly.

:11:52.:12:00.

Donald Trump Junior is the oldest of Donald Trump Ozma children. He

:12:01.:12:05.

advises Donald Trump on political matters with his daughter.

:12:06.:12:11.

I had the chance to meet with him in New Hampshire earlier this year. He

:12:12.:12:17.

is fairly sharp, he has a political mind. He is someone that Donald

:12:18.:12:21.

Trump turns to. In terms of the comments that Arnold Trump made

:12:22.:12:25.

about the medical care be suspect will receive, how doctors treat any

:12:26.:12:32.

person has to remain the same, regardless of what they may not or

:12:33.:12:36.

may have done, it seems incredible to people outside the US that a

:12:37.:12:40.

presidential nominee can question that, and it had not a great deal of

:12:41.:12:45.

political consequence. I am not sure what the alternative would have

:12:46.:12:50.

been, to let the suspect lead on the street? Donald Trump noted his

:12:51.:12:57.

access to a lawyer. That is protected in the Constitution, the

:12:58.:13:00.

sixth Amendment of the US Constitution says that everyone

:13:01.:13:03.

under trial gets a lawyer. And if they can't afford one, one is

:13:04.:13:07.

appointed to them by the government. It is pretty shocking that he would

:13:08.:13:11.

mock this. Although it plays into some of the conservative critiques

:13:12.:13:17.

of the US justice system as Codling suspects and potential terrorists.

:13:18.:13:22.

Here we are again talking about Donald Trump, rather than Hillary

:13:23.:13:25.

Clinton. There was a theory that all she had to do was sit back and let

:13:26.:13:31.

Donald Trump collapse, really, through all these comments he is

:13:32.:13:34.

making, but that does not seem to be happening. No, I think Hillary

:13:35.:13:39.

Clinton has acknowledged that. She had a speech yesterday where she

:13:40.:13:42.

said it wasn't enough for people to be against Trump, she had to give

:13:43.:13:48.

them something. If you look at the polls, whoever is in the news

:13:49.:13:51.

actually goes down in the standings. When everyone was focusing on

:13:52.:13:57.

Hillary Clinton, she suffered in the polls. When it turns back to Donald

:13:58.:14:02.

Trump, there are recent stories about him embracing and pronouncing

:14:03.:14:06.

a bomber's berth in the US, that cost him in the polls -- Barack

:14:07.:14:12.

Obama stop she has acknowledged that she can't sit this out out hope that

:14:13.:14:16.

Donald Trump delivers the election to her. What is the biggest story in

:14:17.:14:22.

the US media at the moment, Donald Trump or Brad Pitt and Angelina

:14:23.:14:27.

Jolie? It has to be Brangelina. Donald Trump is a running story.

:14:28.:14:31.

Every new controversy, this is something that is getting a whole

:14:32.:14:36.

lot more attention. I suspected so much. We will to do that in a

:14:37.:14:40.

moment. Most of you will have heard this already but Angelina Jolie has

:14:41.:14:46.

filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. We will bring you up-to-date on that

:14:47.:14:47.

story. Theresa May has made her first

:14:48.:15:00.

speech to the UN General Assembly. Speaking in the last hour in New

:15:01.:15:04.

York, the Prime Minister said the UK would continue to be a confident

:15:05.:15:07.

international partner for all of the countries gathered. Clearly, we need

:15:08.:15:14.

to continue our efforts to bring an end to the conflict and the

:15:15.:15:17.

appalling slaughter in Syria, and to get aid through to those that need

:15:18.:15:22.

it. And while these efforts continue inside Syria, we also need new

:15:23.:15:27.

efforts to support refugees and host communities in neighbouring

:15:28.:15:31.

countries, including through education and opportunities to work.

:15:32.:15:35.

But in addition to refugees and displaced people, fleeing conflict

:15:36.:15:39.

and persecution, we are also seeing an unprecedented movement of people

:15:40.:15:43.

in search of greater economic opportunities through the same

:15:44.:15:47.

unmanaged channels. This affects all of us, and it is the responsibility

:15:48.:15:50.

of us all to take action. Our lead story is that a stinging

:15:51.:16:10.

rebuke to an attack on an aid convoy in Syria has been issued by the UN

:16:11.:16:14.

Secretary-General, who says the regime in Damascus is response above

:16:15.:16:17.

for the majority of civilian deaths in Syria. Let's look at some of the

:16:18.:16:24.

main stories from BBC World Service, BBC Chinese says North Korea has

:16:25.:16:28.

successfully carried out a ground test at a new high-powered rocket

:16:29.:16:32.

engine of a new rocket engine, the State News jays and see says the

:16:33.:16:36.

country will be able to launch various kinds of satellites. --

:16:37.:16:39.

state news agency. A French MP is calling for video

:16:40.:16:47.

surveillance in abattoirs. A parliament we enquire reef followed

:16:48.:16:51.

the release of secretly filmed videos showing animals being treated

:16:52.:16:56.

violently, BBC World Service radio is covering the story. Lots of you

:16:57.:17:00.

have been watching this interview with Daniel Radcliffe on the BBC. He

:17:01.:17:04.

says it is undeniable that Hollywood is racist and the film world is

:17:05.:17:08.

lagging behind industries in encouraging diversity. You can see

:17:09.:17:11.

the full interview on the BBC news app.

:17:12.:17:20.

In business, we start off with China's investment in wind energy.

:17:21.:17:28.

It is building two wind turbines and hour, double the Americans. You will

:17:29.:17:34.

see the Chinese commitment to clean energy is matched by its commitment

:17:35.:17:35.

to coal. Two curl binds an hour. China's it

:17:36.:17:49.

went to clean energy, part of the battle against climate change.

:17:50.:17:59.

A change in subsidies has reduced things, but turbines are still

:18:00.:18:06.

popping up at a rate of more than one every hour. It has helped give

:18:07.:18:12.

Chinese leaders the confidence to ratify the Paris climate change

:18:13.:18:17.

agreement alongside President Obama. But China is climate villain as well

:18:18.:18:22.

as climate hero, it is still building so many coal-fired power

:18:23.:18:25.

stations there is too much energy on the grid. And wind farms are being

:18:26.:18:31.

turned off. The good news is that China has been installing record

:18:32.:18:39.

amounts of wind. The bad news is this happened at the very same time

:18:40.:18:48.

when also : additions were added. Many of China's plants stand idle

:18:49.:18:53.

for long periods but often get prime or take on electricity good.

:18:54.:18:59.

Even though their energy is free. State media reports that China plans

:19:00.:19:09.

no more expansion of coal power until 2018. Experts say it can't

:19:10.:19:16.

come a moment too soon. Let's shift from China to the US,

:19:17.:19:21.

because the odds of the bank Wells Fargo has been told to resign. This

:19:22.:19:26.

is because of an accounts scandal. 2 million fraudulent accounts were

:19:27.:19:30.

opened without customers knowing, it was done by sales staff who were

:19:31.:19:34.

trying to meet their targets. Already 5000 Wells Fargo employees

:19:35.:19:38.

have been sacked. The boss has appeared in front of US senators and

:19:39.:19:42.

has said sorry, but that doesn't look like it was enough for

:19:43.:19:44.

Elizabeth Warren. He squeezed employees to the

:19:45.:19:55.

breaking point that they cheated customers. You have put hundreds of

:19:56.:20:00.

millions of dollars in your own pocket. And when it all blew up, it

:20:01.:20:05.

you kept your job, you kept your multi-million dollar bonuses, and

:20:06.:20:11.

you went on television to blame thousands of $12 and our employees

:20:12.:20:15.

who were just trying to meet quotas that made you rich. This is about

:20:16.:20:22.

accountability. You should resign. You should give back the money that

:20:23.:20:27.

you took while the scam was going on, and you should be criminally

:20:28.:20:35.

investigated. She speaks her mind. Michelle, she makes a strong case.

:20:36.:20:39.

Was the counter case that this man should keep his job? The argument

:20:40.:20:45.

has been that those involved in this work fired, that they are

:20:46.:20:51.

eliminating sales goals. That was part of the problem that employees

:20:52.:20:54.

were apparently trying to meet targets that were set for them, and

:20:55.:20:59.

that it how they found themselves in this position where these fake

:21:00.:21:04.

accounts were opened up. But it hasn't satisfied Elizabeth Warren or

:21:05.:21:07.

others that question how this could have gone on at such a huge scale

:21:08.:21:13.

without senior management at some level being aware, that they are to

:21:14.:21:17.

blame, if nothing else, for at least the culture within the company that

:21:18.:21:21.

allowed this to happen. There was a lot of discussion in 2008- 09, when

:21:22.:21:25.

banks did a range of things that did not go well. There weren't many

:21:26.:21:28.

criminal investigations that followed. Will that happen in this

:21:29.:21:34.

case? I mean, look, what Elizabeth Warren does is tap into the sense of

:21:35.:21:39.

anger or frustration that people feel and that the big banks have had

:21:40.:21:43.

to pay tens of millions of dollars of fines for illegal activities and

:21:44.:21:48.

the financial crisis, whether it is mortgage mis-selling or other ill

:21:49.:21:56.

deed, but those at the higher echelons within the industry haven't

:21:57.:22:01.

had too, for example, forego bonuses, payback bonuses, payback

:22:02.:22:05.

salary. That is the point Elizabeth Warren was getting at. Whether or

:22:06.:22:09.

not this will reignite that debate will have to wait and see, but on

:22:10.:22:13.

mainstream America there is frustration that she seems to have

:22:14.:22:16.

captured in that exchange you played. Thank you, Michelle. We have

:22:17.:22:22.

been to New York, China, and next we turn to Sweden.

:22:23.:22:25.

We don't often cover Sweden's tax rates -

:22:26.:22:27.

but this is really interesting proposal.

:22:28.:22:29.

The idea is to encourage people to fix things rather

:22:30.:22:31.

than throw them away, by cutting tax on repairs

:22:32.:22:34.

I spoke with Theo Leggett our Business reporter about why a plan

:22:35.:22:39.

A few decades ago, if you bought a watch that machine or tumble dryer,

:22:40.:22:50.

it was expensive. If it broke, it was worth the effort of repairing

:22:51.:22:54.

it. Today, these things are cheaper, but are built cheaper and are more

:22:55.:22:59.

likely to breakdown. When they do, people say the pair 's cost $150, so

:23:00.:23:03.

you might as well go and buy a new one. There are two categories, you

:23:04.:23:10.

can get a tax rebate if you get your white goods repaired, and you can

:23:11.:23:14.

payload of VAT on repairs for simple things like shoes, clothing and that

:23:15.:23:17.

kind of thing is this likely to happen? Sweden intends to make this

:23:18.:23:23.

happen. The question is whether it will be effective, because this

:23:24.:23:26.

relies, for example, on repair people being able to buy parts. It

:23:27.:23:30.

manufacturers romped to use cell white goods, they will not make the

:23:31.:23:37.

prices -- parts easy to buy. They can design products to be difficult

:23:38.:23:45.

to repair. If that part of the machine goes wrong, and you can't

:23:46.:23:49.

get a cheap replacement part, then it doesn't matter how much of a tax

:23:50.:23:54.

rebate you get on the repair, on the labour cost of the repair, that part

:23:55.:23:58.

is still going to be preventative. You will still not be able to repair

:23:59.:24:02.

the machine in a cost-effective way, so you bolster your buy a new one. I

:24:03.:24:05.

expect you have heard this. Angelina Jolie is filing for divorce

:24:06.:24:09.

from Brad Pitt. Irreconcilable differences, as

:24:10.:24:20.

always with divorces. The attorney says it is for the health of the

:24:21.:24:24.

family, suggesting they will not be citing any third parties. This is a

:24:25.:24:30.

disagreement over something to do with their six children, three

:24:31.:24:37.

adopted. A few couples are better known, but they have humanitarian
